<p>My daughter is graduating from a public flagship in 4 years. She is graduating from the honors college (more requirements than general undergrads), from her major dept w/honors (requires more credits, plus a thesis), two minors, and a special certificate program. Plus she has had a work-study job all the way through.</p>
<p>This has been possible through long-range planning as mentioned in the earlier posts. We’ve had a spreadsheet going the whole time with all the requirements blocked out for the four years. Sometimes we need to switch around the blocks due to scheduling conflicts from term to term, but we stick to the program! ;)</p>
<p>She checks in with her advisors for confirmation from time-to-time, but what’s more helpful is us getting familiar with the published requirements ourselves and staying on top of getting those classes. She’s pretty good at it herself now, but for the first couple years we discussed it carefully between us each time registration rolled around.</p>
